Weber 6718001 Genesis Silver A Propane, Dark Blue Review

I've never owned a grill before - but have heard good things about the Weber series. I couldn't be more happy with the purchase! I was a bit skeptical ordering such a large item from Amazon and on having to put it together myself. Delivery went very smoothly. The company that delivered it even brought it up into my 3rd floor walkup apartment.
I think Weber claims that it takes 10 minutes to put this series together. That might be a slightly fast - but I definitely had it up and ready in under an hour. One person can do everything except one lifting step.
I use it even more than I thought I would and it does a great job. Vegetables, seafood, pizza - everything works great.
It's a bit more than more basic grills, but I think when you see the construction you'll realize you're getting a lot for your money.

Weber 6718001 Genesis Silver A Propane, Dark Blue Overview
When we launched the Genesis gas grill line back in 1985, we launched more than a new line of grills- we launched a grilling revolution. The Genesis line changed the way gas grills work with a new and innovative cooking system that stopped flare-ups and created even heat without messy lava rocks. Our system was so good, it wasn't long before other brands tried to replicate it. Close, but no cigar. Weber's cooking system is still the best on the market, and here's why: Burneres made of high-grade stainless steel run the length of the cookbox, providing even heat accross the grill. --Flavorizer bars completely cover the burners, no holes or cutouts. They are precisely angled to generate heat and facilitate run off of juices that aren't vaporized. --A drip system for directing grease away from the burners. Drippings are channeled into a funnel shaped bottom tray under the burners and collect in a large drip pan. Both the funnel-shaped tray and the drip pan are easy to remove from the front of the grill. --At least two or more individually controlled burners for cooking direct or indirect. Burners have infinite control valves so you can fine tune the temperature. Genesis Silver gas grills include three model types---A, B, and C. A models have two burners, B models have three burners, and C models have three burners and a side burner. All models feature a fully enclosed cart with stainless steel doors and handles, granite-style thermoset work surfaces, Crossover ignition system, solid robot-welded carts, and a rust-resistant porcelain-enameled hood with built in thermometer. All natural gas models include a 12 ft. flexible hose. All models also feature a limited lifetime warranty.
Weber 6718001 Genesis Silver A Propane, Dark Blue Specifications
The Genesis Silver A features a 22,000 BTU-per-hour cooking system and two stainless steel burners run the length of the cookbox for even heating without hot or cold spots. Infinitely-adjustable, individually-controlled burner valves let you cook with direct or indirect heat. The primary cooking area, a warming rack, and warm-up basket provide 528 square inches of total cooking space--enough room to cook for parties and bigger groups. An electronic Crossover ignition system lights all burners in succession with the push of a button. Porcelain-enameled Flavorizer bars eliminate flare-ups caused by lava rocks and ceramic briquettes--fats and juices hit the unique angled bars and sizzle away, adding delicious, smoky barbecue flavor instead of flames.
The Genesis Silver’s durable construction includes a cast aluminum cookbox, fully-enclosed, robot-welded cart, porcelain-enamel cooking grates, and a rust-free porcelain-enamel steel hood. Rugged, weather-resistant wheels are crack-proof in the most extreme temperatures and allow easy transport. Locking casters prevent the grill from rolling while you cook.
This model also comes loaded with extras including: a condiment basket, four tool hooks, and a built-in thermometer. A swing-up work surface made from easy-to-clean, granite-look Thermoset holds marinades, sauces and plates while you grill. A slide-out bottom tray funnels grease into a removable catch pan for quick and painless clean-up. Includes an easy-to-read fuel gauge, so you'll never run out of gas mid-meal. Best of all, ten fasteners are all that's needed to put this grill together, meaning you'll go from box to barbecue in less than 40 minutes. The Weber Genesis Silver measures 65 by 63 by 30 inches fully assembled. This item is covered by a limited, lifetime warranty, and is made in the USA. --Mary Park
